Directions of application of Microcrystalline cellulose in Direct compression of tablets

Abstract

Direct compression is the preferred process to manufacture solid dosage forms. All solid dosage forms mainly contain active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients. The excipients are used as bulking agents in formulation; they may be diluents, binders, fillers, disintegrants, glidants or lubricants. Microcrystalline cellulose can be used in desired concentration. It does not show any side effects on flow property and quality of powder blend.
